Hello everyone! My name is Kouremenou Androniki Evangelia or Evelyn, if you prefer. At least that’s what my friends call me. I come from Greece and I chose Tokyo Nodai for my second master’s degree in Landscape Architecture. I am in the laboratory of Landscape Plants and Arboriculture, where I met many amazing people and who have helped me a lot during my stay in Japan. Currently, I am studying about the Japanese Cherry trees (Sakura) as it is my wish to be able to bring them to Greece one day.

My hobbies include running, watching series and movies and a little drawing (whenever I’m in the mood). It has been my dream from when I was younger to come to Japan and experience first hand the beauty this land has to offer. I have always been amazed by the Japanese way of life and the beautiful scenery of the Japanese garden and shrines, which are depicted with mastery in the Ghibli movies.

I have been in Japan for more than a year now and although I came to understand that there are many differences between Greece and Japan, I will be forever grateful for this unique experience to have come here and meet so many wonderful people, both Japanese and international students. In the future, I wish to find ways to strengthen the bonds between the two countries through both my professional and personal life, since I believe we both have a lot to learn from one another.
